Imagine a cold fall day (or a cool summer night, or a rainy day), and you are walking along, and work up an appetite. Now, all of the sudden appears a lady with a grocery store cart filled with a pot of oil over a gas heater, and a pile of these, soft and hot and waiting for you.

Now imagine that this amazingly delicious fried dough cost just 100 pesos, or 0.40 USD.

Now imagine it, just with spicy aji sauce or pebre piled on it, and just a hint of mayonnaise to balance out the spice.

Irresistible!
